You hit on why this is such a big deal....
It took alot of guts to use it and alot of smarts to apply it in this instance. This all came about in the most bizzare manner if anyone is really interested I'll post it but probably people have heard about as much from me on medical stuff as a horse racing site can stand.... It should not go underappreciated that this one application of this technology will open the door to save more lives than anything discovered in the last 10 years. The surgeon and the intensivist will be nominated for Nobel prizes in medicine.....and they should be!!

from what i've heard, kevin has a great attitude, and of course being an athlete in tip top shape can only help. i hope he makes a complete recovery--many times people were given a very dire prognosis, and amazed everyone.

and from what I have gathered it was to stop the swelling more than anything that would damage his spinal cord further.
This really is cool (no pun) because this deep quick cold stuff without freezing tissue has been used in a lot of procedures before, heart etc... but they actually injected him with really cold saline. I was wondering how they could get the temp in that part of the body so low so quickly without trauma. Took a big chance.

voluntarily moving his arms and legs.
he still has a hell of a way to go, but this is a GREAT sign.

They had an interview with the Bills MVP (their punter Brian Moorman) on ESPN radio on my way home from work around 5. He was recapping his hospital visit and said how he told Everett he was going to be on ESPN radio and wanted to know what to tell them and said Everett's eyes just got this determined look. He asked him if he wanted him to tell them that he was going to beat it and Everett nodded his head. Then I guess later Everett's mother asked who they were playing next week and Moorman said Pittsburgh. At that point Everett got the same look in his eye and mouthed "win it" to them. This was all before he had regained any mobility. Pretty moving stuff, I guess if anyone can beat it this kid can.

Docicu3, If you have time i would love to hear more about it. It really is amazing. My question though. Was this something that was done on the field/ambulance or was the IV inserted after he was in the hospital?

Might start seeing a setup to perform the procedure at all football stadiums I would think. Have to diagnose it properly first to take drastic quick action.
